Ok You have a number of options:
Enable Administrator Account in Windows Vista, 7, 8 And 10 Because back in the days of Windows XP the built in administrator account was enabled by default, all you had to do was access it. In Windows Vista and above it has to be enabled first before it becomes accessible on the logon screen. Toggle macbook pro.

Offline NT Password & Registry Editor + Now with Vista Support
* This is a utility to (re)set the password of any user that has a valid (local) account on your NT system.
* You do not need to know the old password to set a new one.
* It works offline, that is, you have to shutdown your computer and boot off a floppydisk or CD.
* Will detect and offer to unlock locked or disabled out user accounts!
* It is also an almost fully functional registry editor!
NT stores its user information, including crypted versions of the passwords, in a file called 'sam', usually found in winntsystem32config. This file is a part of the registry, in a binary format previously undocumented, and not easily accessible. But thanks to a German(?) named B.D, I've now made a program that understands the registry.
